Extended Care

PHILOSOPHY

​

The Extended Care Program strives to provide quality care, security, consistency, and fair treatment for all St. Michael Parish School students from the time between when school is released and when parents are done at work. The school believes it is important to provide a safe, enjoyable before and after school place where children can experience a variety of activities such as outdoor play, homework time, prayer, and indoor games. The program follows the philosophy, mission, rules and regulations stated in the St. Michael Parish School Family Handbook.

 

Please note, our PreK and K-8 Extended Care Programs are separate.
